Share

SALT LAKE CITY – April 28, 2014 – Attendees of the Allegiance VoCFusion 2014 conference gained new perspectives and shared best practices on discovering insights in customer data that improve customer retention and increase growth. The annual conference, held at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas on April 21 to 23, 2014, brought together experts and practitioners to share experiences on how they can turn feedback and big data into happy customers and employees.

In the conference opening presentation, Allegiance CEO Carine Clark expanded on the theme of this year’s event — turning data into happy customers and employees. Clark explained that modern CX programs are moving away from reliance on customer survey data to a majority coming from the “big data” collected through operational sources in a company. The companies that can put that data to work to improve the customer experience will be the winners.

Customer experience professionals and leading experts provided practical and inspirational presentations, including Bruce Temkin, managing partner of Temkin Group, Robert Stephens, founder of Geek Squad and former CTO of Best Buy, Jim Knight, CEO Hospitality on Point, Stefan Osthaus, founder of mybalance and Megan Burns, VP of Forester Research.

“We want to thank our speakers, attendees and partners for making this year’s VoCFusion a successful event,” said Clark. “Improving customer experience has become an imperative for business survival, and with the availability of more and more customer data, the challenge is to quickly analyze all of the available data and use it to enhance each customer’s experience in near real time.”

Allegiance also introduced its newest innovation, Dashboards 2, a data visualization tool thatspeeds discovery of insights in customer experience (CX) data from a multitude of sources. Dashboards 2 is a part of the Allegiance Engage platform that combines customer feedback with big data from CRM and operations systems to uncover insights.
